    Can I see your bread? Post your loaf's photo.

    This one is a Jenn Air, but now most of them have it available. Hubby loves the grill so we had to get a Jenn Air anyway, but I love this setting. My other oven has only a warming setting, and that's too hot, 180 I think, but if I need to use it I turn it on to that for 5 min then turn it off...

    Can I see your bread? Post your loaf's photo.

    I have been starting bread in a cold oven for a long time now, love the crusts. But my oven has a bread proofing setting that holds 80 degrees so I don't' need the cast iron pan. After the rise I just mist again (I mist the walls of the oven and the loaves at the start of rise and maybe one...

    Can I see your bread? Post your loaf's photo.

    Ok, this is the pics I got of today's bread, buns and my first attempt at Ciabatta bread. If your finding your bread heavy in the center maybe check it with a meat thermometer before taking it out. I got better results after I was told that bread should be at least 195 degrees, 200 is...

    What can I do with LOTS of red worms?

    Tried them as chicken feed, my chickens would not eat them. Now that's not to say if you raised them to eat them it would not work, but apparently you can't just show up to your free range chickens and hand out worms. They look disgusted at you and resume catching grasshoppers. So I tried...

    Choosing a pressure canner? ... Got it!

    ORChick no problem! That's why I said take what works for you. I was shocked that this might be a bigger deal than I was thinking, as in getting stuff and things to make a go of it. But I really do want to do lots of stuff as I learn how, so for me it would be best to batch big. And I live...

    Choosing a pressure canner? ... Got it!

    Like you I'm looking into this right now, and I too have a glass top stove. Things I have gleaned from those near me that have and use their pressure canners lots. These folks really do make fantastic use of their canners and like me work full time and run a farm so pressed for time like me...

    Sodium Bentonite to seal my pond to be...

    A co-worker of mine has a horse facility where they do cross country jumping. She has a few water jumps and has had to seal them with bentonite. Buys it in a sac, like feed and mixes it with water in a bucket, bit by bit, dumps into the jump pond then leaves it. The leaky area is where the...

    Can I see your bread? Post your loaf's photo.

    I quit on bread machines too. I let them bake it at first, then liked the free forms I could do outside the machine so I just used the dough cycle, then I moved and kitchen space was more premium. I wanted a Kitchen Aid anyway, and I wanted to make more bread at the same time so I got the...

    Anyone know these lyrics?!?

    No idea, but wow that's a tall donkey! Wonder if they are using him not only for herding/the rider but protecting the flock.

    WHO has converted to CFLs??

    If your coming back to the room your Dad is right, leave them on. All our CFLs in locations where they are turned on and off have failed, so they get left on, and all the outside ones have to be left on or they will not come on. That's where I don't see the savings in these bulbs except if you...

    WHO has converted to CFLs??

    Its that they flicker that causes headaches. I can't stand them either. We do use them, the hubby has them everywhere he lives, like the TV room, but I can't have them in my rooms or I have a crushing headache in minutes. And yes I have tried every colour and the so called 'natural light'...

    Kinetic Maths

    Every thing you do every day has math in it. Find the math and talk to her about it. When you go outside to feed a horse hay don't just say they get 2 flakes (or whatever) unless she needs practice counting. Say they are 1000 pounds and horses are fed one pound of hay for every 100 pounds...

    Trouble uploading photos - never mind

    Were going to need more information. What is the file type? What options in file type is given by this Picasa software? Some have their own version of or newer versions of the file types like jpg or bmp. Look at the software's options for saving file types first I think, and see if you can...

    Looks like the spammers have been busy!!

    They get an error screen that tells them to remove the link until they are an established member of the board. They can post anything but a link.

    Looks like the spammers have been busy!!

    In my free range chicken set up it's the early bird that got all the night crawlers. Same hen every morning out there before dawn in the dim security light over the yard feasting. Ahh, summer memories currently frozen in time (literally) Hoping this spamware works!

    How to start with a baby?

    I thought this thread was going to be about horses.... :lol: Usually in my life if someone wants to talk about starting a baby it's the how to's of the first few saddling and riding days. OK, so human babies, well, I'll leave that to the rest of you. I only helped in a few nieces, and at 9...
